What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle worktop repair in Tilehurst
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and gouges in the surface, in solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
What we’re called out for in Tilehurst
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
